Air Canada is apologizing to passengers who found themselves rerouted late at night to Fredericton with nothing to eat - that is, until a WestJet pilot stepped in to buy them pizza, one of which is shown in a handout photo from passenger John Samms.The passengers were on a flight from Toronto to St. John's, N.L. on Feb. 8 when bad weather forced the plane to be rerouted to New Brunswick - See more at: http://www.timescolonist.com/westjet-pilot-orders-pizza-for-rerouted-air-canada-passengers-in-fredericton-1.9951230#sthash.DvPwbdH4.dpuf

Talk about good PR for his company, eh?

[Don W]

Yeah, most pilots I’ve known have been pretty decent folk.

[Flick Lives]

That’s a smart captain and a good employee.

[HLPhat]

A pilot with the character to step up and care for those within his purview.

Here’s to that guy and those like ‘em — damn few left.

Only in Canada...

[Don W]

That about sums it up, alright!

[hecticskeptic]

This may have just been the actions of one pilot but WestJet generally has so outhustled the no-imagination Air Canada that the difference is as stark as comparing Trump to Clinton....

I understand that ACA is looking for a few “good” employees

[Daffynition]

I love Canada, eh?

[GOPJ]

Yeah, most pilots I’ve known have been pretty decent folk.

Same here... and Trump supporters...

When whites riot, nations and continents burn.

True tag - but definitely NOT politically correct.

Those aren’t entirely mere stereotypes - I have never actually lived in an igloo(or iglu, as the neighbour spells it), but I have definitely seen Canadian Tire money used to settle small debts and in poker games; I’ve had back-yard rinks; I’ve seen plenty of snow on fine summer days; and I’ve pretty much survived on beer(real beer) on now-distant occasion.

I’m assuming #8 has something to do with bacon. If so, I’d judge the list complete.

Thanks for posting - I’m sorry I didn’t see it earlier. ;^)

Love ya. Respect ya.
